Willem Dafoe, who was cast as Nuidis Vulko, doesn't appear in the shot - presumably due to filming Murder on the Orient Express.

Wan previously described Aquaman as ""swashbuckling action adventure, sort of high seas adventure story. A quest story in the spirit of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Romancing the Stone and there will be a dynamic between Arthur and Mera start off as a love-hate relationship where they don't quite click and as time goes by and they try to work together they get closer and closer."
